Don't you think that's just a little bit insulting to those of us who use clipless pedals? Look like a racer?
When I started using clipless in the 80s the looks was the last thing I was thinking about. I like foot retention, it helps me spin especially when I am tired. It puts my foot in the correct position, every time.
And, despite what some people say, it allows me to pull up at times and at least unweight the pedal going up.
I'm 61 and a little overweight and have no illusions about how I look. I'm a Fred but I use clipless on every ride on every bike and have for nearly 190,000 miles.
